I told myself in the past that I would never never eat balut, a fertilized duck egg. Encouraged by fellow steemians @ninyea, @itinerantph , @jassennessaj and @bellatravelph to give it a shot.
Yay I survived and it was good! Far from my expectations! hahah . My impression goes like I don't want to eat because it looks so yucky with all the feathers of the embryo and its form that doesn't look so attractive. I've learned from them that eating one comes in numbers. They said that balut #16 is the bestseller and mouth-watering, in addition, the embryo is still developing with this number so it doesn't look so unpleasant.
Currently, I am the urge to eat one could be for the seccond time? hmmm :P . So I decided to post and share my experienced! hahaha
Balut is one of the Philippine's street food. It is incubated for 14-21 days. Remember the higher the number, the more visible the fertilized duck egg is .

I only tried #16 , have you tried eating balut that the duck is visible? I wouldn't attempt to try lol

Hello mate try it, it is very delicious...
I couldn't put it in my mouth.

Just knowing what it is would make me gag lol
Really? i've been scared to eat that stuff.

It looks disgusting, sorry to say.

Me too, before I feel like I want to throw up just imagining eating it. Now, one balut isn't enough. I guess sometimes, we just have to try new things, maybe the ones we hate now will be our favorite in the future. :)
